Wee Beanzy. Cat Photographs.

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:27:06 +0000

My mate Brian’s wee cat, Beanzy. Glorious day outside today ( for a change ) ,was going to cycle over but just decided to drive over instead. Shame
Wee Beanzy is a hyper cat, full of energy. running up and down tree’s with ease. fun to watch.

Almost a year now since i photographed his other wee cat, Bisky. Post here.
Poor wee thing only has 3 legs.

Black and White Glasgow – iPhone 4s

admin — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:48:51 +0000

Today i decided to go for a wee cycle around Glasgow. (obviously) the reason being, is to get fit but i also wanted to get some photographs with the iPhone 4s along with the Olloclip

It was quite a dull day so i decided to convert all the photos to Black and White as i feel it suits them better. That and the fact i love Black and White images. Ive been trying for years to try and replicate the look of Black and White film and im pretty happy with the way these edits turned out.

Hollie, a Solo female performer, contacted me a few weeks back needing some new updated photographs for promotional use.
Her agent asked for a specific set of images. These were shot at the Alea Casino in Glasgow and we have to give a big thanks to they guys for allowing us to use thier premises.

Tron Open Day – 15th January 2012

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:38:39 +0000

Last Sunday saw the Tron Theatre open their doors to the public for a behind the scenes look at what goes on.
I’ll blog some images of the Gala performace in the next few days.

Detais below taken from the Tron theatre’s website.

With a church fete theme (we were a Kirk once after all!), we’ll be opening our doors for a fundraising afternoon of workshops, tours and a whole host of stalls – what would a fete be without a tombola and home baking after all? Every nook and cranny of the Tron will be filled with activitiy and entertainment suitable for all the family.

Gala Variety Performance photos can be viewed here – Gala Variety Performance.

Instagram #10 with the Olloclip

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:01:54 +0000

Got myself the Olloclip for iPhone the other day.
I’ll be honest and say the first time i saw all these “gadgets” coming out for the iPhone i was a little sceptical thinking there was no way i was buying stuff like that but the more i took photos ( alot ) with the iPhone the more i wanted a wider field of view. The olloclip gives you 3 lenses in 1. A wide angle, a fisheye and a macro lens.

Its not going to rival my DSLR’s but for ease of use and fun photos, it cant be beat.
The shot below is taking with the macro side of the lens and i was quite surprised with the quality this little thing gives you.

Jacqui’s 30th – Lodge on Loch Lomond.

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:18:32 +0000

We went away for a wee break for Jacqui’s 30th. Its the first time we’d ever been to The Lodge on Loch Lomond and it was great. Private sauna, great views from our balcony and amazing food. We will definetly be going back in the summer as i want some more photographs of course.

Went for a wee stroll in Luss and i managed to get a few photos of Jacqui, she will kill me ( most likely not ) for posting these but i happen to think she looks ~~great~~ amazing in them. The perks of going out with a photographer i guess.

Happy birthday lovely. Hope you had a great time. x

Sunrise over Loch Lomond. Can’t beat it.

Happy to be 30 today.

LOVE this one.
